Trump May Issue Exec Order Ending Citizenship For Babies Of Illegal Immigrants: Calls It ‘Frankly Ridiculous’

On Wednesday, President Trump stated that he is thinking of issuing an executive order that would prevent the children born on American soil to illegal immigrants from gaining automatic American citizenship, calling so-called “birthright citizenship” “frankly ridiculous.” Trump told reporters...

I'm in favor of this, but I'm pretty sure it will take more than an EO.

What I don't get is how birthright citizenship has been bastardized to mean that everyone in the baby's family gets to stay as well. It seems pretty simple to say, yes, a baby born in the US is entitled to citizenship but not his mom and dad and brothers and grandparents and first cousins twice removed. Mommy and Dad can either leave their child with legal guardians or take it home with them, but they cannot stay.

Chain migration is what really needs to be addressed. Miss your family? Then go your ass home.

You should tell that to Melania's parents

It should be changed so that in order to be a citizen by virtue of being born here, at least one of your parents must be a citizen.

We already have this.

This!

 

[stgislander]

How about we give them documentation saying they were born here, and can come back when they turn 18 or 21?

 

[Smokey1]

We already have this.

No, what we have is if you are born here you are a citizen whether your parents are or not. I say that shouldn't be unless one of your parents is a citizen.

I could except off-springs of a married couple where both are legal permanent alien residents. All other visa status- no.

OK

Check Snopes on that one.

Might be time for a more "Heinlein" approach.

This is the perfect thought process, in my opinion.

Feels matter more than Facts.

Check Snopes on that one.

Why do you think it’s okay for Trump to change the 14th amendment with an EO?

I thought you were for the rule of law and a traditionalist.

One more example of you flipping over and taking it from Trump despite all your protests to the contrary

 

[Sapidus]

Check Snopes on that one.

Again you you’d state something with no proof.

Stop trying to Gaslight people. You can’t be this stupid

This is an excellent example of "false memories based on fake news" that we're talking about in that other thread.

Sappy has a lot of those.

Interesting you use the phrase "no proof." That's what Snopes says about a problem with Melania's parents' immigration "problems".

He probably still thinks Sarah Palin said she could see Russia from her house.
